Tasting Notes
Less open and more tannic initially than the regular St Joseph. Though closed to begin with this demonstrates great fruit finesse and precision. Lovely crisp red berries mixed with richer sweet dark fruit notes nodding to the warmer season. A fine firm tannic grip is evident but in proportion and gives definition, tension and focus to the wine. A long and intense finish brings with it a cracked pepper spiciness. Good intensity without heaviness. Superb. A blend of old Syrah vines in the commune of Chavanay in the north part of St Joseph near Condrieu. Made from 85% de-stalked Syrah (15% whole bunches were included in the 2017 for the first time) and aged in 20% new oak barriques usually for 16 to 18 months.
